Day 3: Ouarzazate- The gorges
Departure for the Dadès Valley and its ribbon of oases in the hollow of the mountains, setting for “a thousand kasbahs” surrounded by poplars and rose gardens: Skoura, El-Kelaà M’Gouna, Boumalne du Dadès. From there, the desert slopes of the mountain nibble away at its ribbon of greenery. But the wadi encrusts and splits thick limestone blocks, carving dizzying walls: these are the Dadès Gorges.

About fifteen kilometers from the village of Tinghir, at the end of a valley dotted with palm groves and Berber villages, the Todgha Gorges are among the most beautiful natural sites in the country. You will be greatly impressed by this massive fault, 300 m high at its narrowest point, at the bottom of which a crystal clear river flows. It separates the High Atlas from Jebel Saghro. Continue to Erfoud.

Day 5: Erfoud -Merzouga
Like nomads, here you are slaloming between the dunes on your camel to get to the camp. You will then have plenty of time to contemplate the sunset over the dune before enjoying a mint tea and a traditional tagine around a campfire. Night in the middle of the desert under the immensity of the starry sky.

Day 6: Merzouga -Zagora

Day 7: Zagora -Agdez-Ait Benhaddou
Today you go back to Ouarzazate, the superb Drà¢a valley, an immense string of oases 200 km long. Thumbing its nose at the desert, nature raises its colors high: clusters of golden dates in the tops of palm trees, oleander bushes, brown, beige, gray mountains, dominating an ocher earth and, from far to far, such mirages, countless sand-colored qsours.
08
8:00 am to 10:00 pm
Day 8: Ait Ben Haddou -Marrakech

You will admire the Porte de la Marine and the Skala with its alignment of bronze cannons. You will appreciate its nonchalant charm, its whitewashed houses, its quiet squares, its welcoming terrace cafés, its old fishing port, its quality craftsmanship (tuya wood marquetry) and its... delicious fish.
